Ear Tag 0.6.1

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/eartag/-/releases/0.6.1

Ear Tag 0.6.0

This release brings various improvements to the "Rename selected files" feature:

• Tags to insert can be picked from a list, and inserted tags are highlighted with a color.
• The preview field also gains syntax highlighting, as well as a way to select the file to preview, or quickly view how the change affects all selected files.
• A new "Move to folder" option has been added, which allows for moving the file to a folder, and allows for creating subfolders to place the file in, all based on the file's tags.

It also introduces a new feature called "Extract Tags from Filename", which can extract tags from a filename using a pattern. This dialog also benefits from all the improvements to the rename dialog, like syntax highlighting and previewed file selection.

The main view has been redesigned, and additional tags are now displayed alongside other tags, not under a dropdown. There's also a new "Filename" field that allows for previewing a file's name or changing a single file's name.

Finally, two other new features have been introduced:

• "Undo all changes in selected files";
• "Remove tags from selected files".

No major changes for packagers. For translators - translations have moved to l10n.gnome.org.

Ear Tag 0.5.1

Minor release, fixing some small cosmetic bugs and updating translations. No major changes for packagers or translators.

Ear Tag 0.5.0

This release introduces three main improvements:

• The cover art button has been expanded to allow for changing both the front and back covers. It also now has an option to remove cover art from the file.
• The "Identify Selected Files" dialog has been re-worked, and now pulls data from MusicBrainz based on present tags, not just AcoustID fingerprints. It also attempts to find the correct release for a track instead of selecting the first best one.
• The UI now uses the new libadwaita 1.4 widgets, and thus adapts to the new application style.

For packagers - libadwaita 1.4 is now required.

Ear Tag 0.5.0-rc1

This release introduces two improvements:

• The cover art button has been expanded to allow for changing both the front and back covers. It also now has an option to remove cover art from the file.
• The "Identify Selected Files" dialog has been re-worked, and now pulls data from MusicBrainz based on present tags, not just AcoustID fingerprints. It also attempts to find the correct release for a track instead of selecting the first best one.

No changes for packagers. For translators - there are plenty of new translatable strings for the two above features.

Ear Tag 0.4.3

Fixes bug where covers could not be changed, as well as issues #89 and #90. Also introduces Chinese translation.

Ear Tag 0.4.2

Minor bugfix release, updated app to reflect the repository's move to the World group (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/eartag).

No changes for translators. Packagers will have to update the URL.

Ear Tag 0.4.1

Minor bugfix release, fixing a few small issues and crashes found after releasing 0.4.0.

No changes for packagers or translators.

Ear Tag 0.4.0

This is a pretty major release, which brings three brand new features:

• Renaming files using a specific pattern
• Identifying files using AcoustID
• The option to set a release date (YYYY-MM-DD) instead of just the year

It also brings many stability improvements; various crashes were fixed, and code quality was improved in a few places. If you previously encountered issues while loading/removing files, where the entire app crashed or the UI went blank - these should be solved now! A few small tweaks were made to the UI as well, mostly in preparation for GNOME Circle inclusion - which, in other news, Ear Tag is now in GNOME Circle! 🎉

For packagers: there is now a new dependency on pyacoustid. Network access is required for the file identification feature, but is otherwise completely optional.
